Want to encrypt all Data on Computer
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Hello
Thank you for releasing this good piece of software
I have a Feature suggestion, to disable Crypter GUI closing and after the decryption finished, it exits.
Thanks
Hey, thanks :-). I don't really work actively on this project anymore as I have quite a few others that are on-going. It's certainly possible to do all of this though that's for sure. I will consider it for the future If I pick this project back up again... which I would like to.
Based upon the issue title, did you also have a feature request for making it possible to encrypt all data on the computer? I have been asked about this in the past and while it's possible, it's certainly not something I'd recommend. If you start with C:\ and simple encrypt everything, you're going to hit critical system files which could break the system before the encryption can finish. The alternative would be to switch the encryption approach, and encrypt every file and directory but to exclude a few specific ones, like Program Files, Windows etc.
Thank you for the info. Please keep working on this great piece it has a potential.
Hi,
If you want to encrypt other drives too check into Base.py "get_base_dirs" simple tweeks would do, in Crypter directory!!! Make sure you exclude the folders like Program Files, Windows etc...
PS: "NO GURANTEE OF ANY KIND... BE CAUTIOUS WHEN YOU WANT TO ENCRYPT THE FILES NO MATTER WHICH ONES!!!"
Hope that helps.
Thank you very much for the Information.
